Does it happen with other browsers?
I can't check boxes on websites

Anonymous2023-01-23T02:08:02.59+00:00 Hi Cynthia Kennedy ,
I try to check the issue with the Edge version 109.0.1518.55 (Official build) (64-bit) and found no issues with checkbox.
I agree with the suggestion given by Viorel that you may need to scroll through all the terms might activate the checkbox.
If this is not the case, could you please share the details below?
- Which Edge browser version you are using?
- Does the issue occurs with specific site? if the site is public, you could share the URL here.
- Have you check whether other browsers (e.g. Google Chrome) has similar issue?
Best Regards,
Deepak

If I use my phone I can check boxes or slide bars as required. I did not have this problem until I upgraded to Windows 11.

Paul Trendell 0 Reputation points2023-10-12T09:50:48.8833333+00:00 I am having the same issue - not able to enter anything in checkboxes (W11). This happens with various browsers but I suspect that in most cases (if not all) the function/action that the tick is supposed to trigger, actually happens.
